After 12 years playing Penny on The Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco is exhausted. Or at least, that's what it looks like in the hilarious behind-the-scenes pictures she recently posted to Instagram.
According to Kaley's post, she was in the middle of receiving notes from the Big Bang Theory's director when she started to yawn. And as anyone who's yawned at a time when they definitely shouldn't have (like, uh, in front of your boss) knows, when a yawn comes on, there's not much you can do to stop it.
Luckily for Kaley, she's a) an adorable yawner and b) can pretty much do no wrong. So she wasn't even embarrassed by her yawn, jokingly hashtagging the moment "#anactorprepares" and "#actingislistening." (Sure, Kaley, sure.)

Kaley's fans also thought the moment was pretty funny. "It looks like youre belting a song from Phantom of the Opera or something . Awesome!" one wrote.
Another said, "Must be fun working with you, Kaley Big Bang never makes me yawn - I cannot wait for tonights new episode. Big Bang Thursday is my fave "
And still another offered up this piece of "helpful" advice: "You can sleep when the shows over! "
But while Kaley might not be able to help yawning at work (same), it's definitely not because she's bored of the show. "Ive always said, if it were up to me, Id have been playing this character [Penny] at 80 years old," she told news.com.au in 2018. "Its taking me a minute to digest that its coming to an end."
Well, at least she's making tons of sweet memories with her time left, even if she's not 100-percent awake for them.
